new CASETiFY clear case for iPhone 14

After debuting and now launching its new Disney collaboration, it’s time to take a look at the brand new CASETiFY clear case for iPhone 14. CASETiFY is a brand, for many, that is best known and exemplified by its black and white bezel logo work and the wild patterns it sits atop. From iPhone and Android smartphone cases to iPad and AirPods covers, it has quickly become one of the biggest brands in the case business. While a complete clear case isn’t exactly what it’s known for, it has brought some of the industry-leading protection it developed in the 2022 Bounce design we detailed previously to what it is calling “the clearest and most protective Clear Case for the mass market.” Head below for more details.

Justin Kahn -
Smartphone AccessoriesTested with 9to5ToysReviewsMous

Today we are taking a closer look at the Mous MagSafe Wallet. Mous is probably best known for its protective iPhone cases that don’t really give off that heavy-duty look and feel, but rather something of a more refined look in many cases that fall into the casual or even dressy category. While its MagSafe Card Wallet isn’t overly robust or rugged, it certainly caught our eye with its supple, tumbled leather build and slightly more unique design than many of the vertical-oriented options out there. But is it the right choice for you? Head below to find out in our hands-on review of the Mous MagSafe Card Wallet as part of our Tested with 9to5Toys series.

PopSockets – a brand many would say popularized those back-mounted smartphone grips – is expanding its premium collection today with the latest from a galaxy far, far away. While there are plenty of grips out there from a plethora of different brands, not very many of them offer up the kind of selection PopSockets does, from MagSafe and spinning options to enameled treatments, slidable models that can neatly get out of the way of wireless charging gear, and even grips you can customize yourself.
